i do believe harry reid is going to bring comprehensive gun bill to the floor. maybe in different pieces. it may be one package. that will be his decision. i do believe something is going to pass in a bipartisan way out of the senate. you saw politico reporting there was a bipartisan group, republicans and democrats from rural and urban states who are working on a comprehensive package on a background checks. i thinkure going to see something get through the senate, and then i think you will have house republicans -- not the majority of them. some number. 20, 30, 40. who will be feeling intense pressure from their districts on this issue. they are going to go to their speaker and their leadership and say, look, if we don't get a volt on this issue, i will not be back, and if i'm not back, you will not be speaker. so we may not need 150 or 170 republicans to vote for this. where he we may not even need 100, but i need you, mr. speaker, to at least allow a vote on the bipartisan bill that has come out of the senate, or i won't be here and you won't be here. >> doe

look, it starts in the senate and we'll see what harry reid can get done. most of the key players, nra ratings including the majority leader, chairman leahy, six democrats up in states that the president got 42% or less in. i don't think they'll be too enamored with him, so i think that pushes you toward things like background checks and the house, it's going to be tougher. i mean that's just the reality of it politically. so i would expect something to be done. i think there's going to be a lot of hearings but probably more in the mental health area, potentially in some of the background check areas, but anything that hints towards national regs won't make it and anything that really materially makes it more difficult for people to exercise second amendment rights won't happen. >> i tell you, i don't agree. i hope that -- i think the odds of something happening are determined by the determination of people who push those things. and when the folks are going to be joining me and jim langevin, we don't want to take the rights of owning a gun away. i own a gu

what is harry reid -- he has responded to this specific idea? what won't he like about it? >> i went to harry reid first, i went to him over a month ago and in fact he referred me to dick durbin an said he thinks it's a good idea. but i think we are getting a little bit -- it's getting partisan in there and it shouldn't. i've talked to a number of democrats who like our approach. and by the way, while we started the bill pat toomey from pennsylvania came in and it's the inch hoof too many me bill but it should be the eupl hoff, toomey and several democrats bill. i'm hoping they'll look at this as something that is not just a republican bill. there is no downside to doing this. martha: what do you expect the tenor -- what is this meeting going to be like at the white house tomorrow when mcconnell, pelosi and bones are all in therboehner are all in there with the president. what is going to happen. >> i've been spared those phaoeupbgts, i haven't attended them. they are going to get in there and each side is going to say how can we do this in a way that is not our fault. now
